About the adventure
You were born in a land where magic is a curse. The Church’s witch-hunters scour the countryside, burning all they call “corruption.” A whispered spell, a flicker of light and the pyre awaits. You are one of those children. When the Inquisition descends on your village, you must flee into a world that promises salvation but delivers only new monsters. The question is not if you survive but who you’ll become by the time you do. __Campaign Overview__ Part I: The Children of Ash (Lv. 1–4 | “Youth” Arc) Play as children (~12 y/o) hiding forbidden power in a land that hunts magic. This arc centers on survival, secrecy, and moral discovery a contained story ending in your escape… or your capture. Part II: The Ashen Road (Lv. 5+ | “Adulthood” Arc) Years later, the survivors return to a changed Etharis, traveling vampire baronies, fey glades, and war-torn empires to learn whether they truly escaped evil or merely traded one tyranny for another. Part III: The Cinder Crown (Lv. 10 + | “Ascension” Arc) As the gods die and the night lengthens, the last sparks of magic flicker the same magic once hunted in your youth. You must choose: protect it, extinguish it, or become something beyond both mortal and divine. The story ends where it began in the ashes. --------------------------------------- Play-by-Post Format - Hosted on Discord - 2-3 GM posts per day; flexible replies - Separate channels for RP, rolls, OOC - Focus on atmosphere, worldbuilding, and long-form storytelling

What Slosh brings to the table
I run immersive, character-driven games focused on narrative growth, faction intrigue, and creative problem-solving. My GM style leans toward Rules-as-Intended, with generous use of the Rule of Cool when it enhances the story, character moments, or thematic flair. You can expect: ⚔️ Enjoy creative and challenging combat scenarios. In this world, there are many fun and tough combat encounters, and some might require more brains than brawn. 🦇 Gothic horror, witch trials & survival themes 📜 2024 PHB & Grim Hollow Content through DND Beyond ✍️ Deep RP & slow-burn growth “This is a story about surviving a world that fears you and deciding whether to become what it always believed you were.”
